Sled Pulling

[hd01chevy]

Iwant to build my ccsb 2500 w/6.0L, to pull sled and sometimes bumper to bumper pulls. I already haev a rear end out of a d-max and traction bars.decent tires to bite. got a eaton e locker for fron end. just need some info on what to strengthen more, or add.

- Custom tune

 

- Built tranny

 

- Driveshaft loops

 

- Stronger front end components to beef up the IFS (i.e. TRE's, ball joints, CV's, etc)

 

- Beef up the rear suspension to keep it from squatting (air bags or springs)

 

- If you get serious, weigh bar on front with adjustable weights

 

I've seen a lot of guys with GM's break tie rods while pulling because they start bouncing and don't realize to let off the throttle. If you plan on pulling a lot, I'd beef up the IFS first.

 

I've actually pulled my '07 1/2 ton Silverado a couple times. I was lucky enough to not break anything so I figured I'd quit while I was ahead.

Rare parts inc. makes some monster TRE's. I saw the guys on truck u install them. Looks like a really nice piece.
